Installaton & Connection
Installation Requirements
This section explains how to install the AJ 2443 Leased Line modem in the
rackmount chassis or standalone case.
Items Needed to Install an External Modem

A DTE, PC or terminal with an RS-232 serial port.
An RJ-11 telephone line jack, and leased line connections terminated in
a RJ-48S/JM-8.
An RS-232 shielded cable with a 25-pin D-type connector for the
modem-to-DTE connection.
A telephone set required only for manual dial back-up operation.
Items Needed to Install a Rackmount Modem

Two telephone cables (one with RJ-11 plug at both ends for dial line
connections, and one with RJ-45 plug at one end and spade lugs at
other for leased line connections)
DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) with an RS-232 serial port
A telephone line jack - either RJ-11 or RJ-45
Operator's Manual
RS-232 shielded cable with a 25 pin D-type connector for the DTE-to-
modem
AJ rackmount chassis or standalone case (UCSA-XX)

Installation & Connection
Location Factors
Determining the optimum location is the combination of several factors
and compromises. For the desktop installation it is a matter of operator
convenience and effectiveness, and the modem's proximity to line power,
to the telephone wall jack, to the telephone set (if it is to be used with the
modem) and to the location of the terminal equipment.
The rackmount chassis is typically located in a cabinet/rack that holds

other equipment or other rackmount chassis of modems. Adequate line
power for all the equipment in the cabinet must be available or brought to
the chosen location. The modem printed circuit assemblies (cards)
require about 15 inches in front of the cabinet to be plugged in and out of
the rackmount chassis. Since an operator is expected to walk in front of
the cabinet to operate and observe the front panel on some occasions the
space for passage should at least be the 15 inches needed for the modem.
The rackmount modems and their chassis are designed with free airflow in
the vertical direction to provide natural convection cooling. The
specifications for the modems require a maximum ambient temperature
for the modem card of 122 degrees F. The modem rackmount chassis
may be stacked and the air will flow through the stack, but the
considerations of the temperature and the flow of the air become more
critical. When rackmount modem chassis are located in cabinets with
other equipment that would block the convection cooling it is necessary to
provide a minimum of one and one-half inches of unobstructed space at
the top and bottom so that airflow is not restricted. When the heat
generated by the equipment in the cabinet cannot be ventilated by
convection cooling, then forced airflow is required. This may be done by
the addition of a blower assembly to the cabinet to force air through the
equipment. In a computer room there may be cooled air moving through
ducts that may be vented into the cabinet by only providing the
appropriate openings in the floor.

Telephone Line Access

The proximity to the telephone lines must be considered in the planning
phase of the installation. The consideration of routing dial lines from a
corporate PBX system may be involved and require consultation with the
group that maintains the PBX system. The routing of bundles of cables
and the consideration of the 50-pin connector termination or the use of
multiple RJ-45 type jacks requires analysis. The future expansion or
changing requirements of the data communication system may become a
part of this decision. The use of leased lines has many of the same
considerations, but it is more likely that the Bell operating company
serving your facility must be consulted for determining the location for the
line installation effort and the type of connections that are the most
reasonable for now the future. The schedule for the planned telephone
line installation may become a critical part of completing the installation in
a timely manner.
Telephone Company (TELCO) Contact

The Telco contact is most likely the external follow up action necessary to
implement the planning for the installation. For a dial up only connection,
the process is simply the ordering of standard telephone connections, i.e.
RJ-11 jacks. For leased line applications, a local telephone company
contact for such service is necessary. Defining what is needed and where
it is to be located will require coordination and scheduling with the local
Telco contact possibly with site visits and proposals involved. Note that
the 2443 Leased Line Modems all operate on the basic type 3002
unconditioned leased lines. The information related to dial up services is
indicated on the "FCC Advisement" section located in this Manual
immediately after the Table of Contents.

Installation Procedures
Receiving and Unpacking

When the equipment is received, examine the containers. If signs of
damage or rough handling are evident, have the carrier's agent present
when the equipment is unpacked.
Unpack the equipment carefully. Inspect it for scratches, dents, cracks,

or any other signs of damage. If the equipment is damaged, save all the
packing materials and notify both CXR and the Carrier immediately. CXR
will arrange for repair or replacement of damaged equipment without
waiting for settlement of claims with the carrier.
Check your packing list to verify you have received all your equipment. If
any parts are missing call CXR Telcom Customer Service at (800) 537-
5762 or (510) 657-8810 (in California).
System Start-Up
A common start-up procedure applies after the modem installation is
completed through the power on sequence. Your AJ Modem is shipped
from the factory with a common default configuration. The factory
settings for the various modem functions are presented in Table 3.1. This
configuration is stored in non-volatile memory and can be reviewed at any
time by the user with the status AT&Sn command (see Chapter 3). If the
"n" position is omitted then the full twelve pages are presented, but the
continuation of the status display can be aborted by typing any character
except <Enter>. If n = the desired page of the status display, then only
that page is presented (See AT Commands, Chapter 6).
After connecting the modem to the DTE and to the telephone line or lines,
the user should look over the option settings and note which items must
be changed from the factory settings to configure the modem
appropriately for the system and application being used. As shipped, the
User Configuration 0 is the same as the dial-up Factory Configuration 0
(Table 3.1).

Rackmount Modem Card Installation

The AJ modem card can be used in a chassis with other modems, or in a
standalone case. The chassis provides printed circuit connections to the
EIA and the telephone line connectors.
The AJ modem chassis has 16 single-card slots to hold 8 of the AJ LCD

modems or 16 standard modems. Different types of modems may be
mixed in the same chassis. The AJ UCSA-03 standalone case will hold one
single or a double card slot modem.

Switch Settings
In order to adapt the modem to work with non-standard interfaces and to
take advantage of the extra features of the modem, there are two sets of
dipswitches (S1 and S2) of eight switches each which will configure the
signals on the serial (RS-232) interface. The following Section provides a
listing of the alternate EIA signals available with alternate switch settings.

pitched tones will be heard. Failure is indicated by four lower-pitched
tones and the LEDs will indicate the type of failure.
- DTR indicates a ROM failure

- DSR indicates a RAM failure
- CD indicates a NVRAM failure
- CTS indicates a DSP failure
When calling Technical Support for assistance, it is important to have this

information available.

Modes & Configurations
Common Operations
The AJ Modems are typically operated using the industry-standard AT
command set. The AT commands for these modems have been expanded
beyond the standard set in order to incorporate the many additional
features that are included in these modems. AT commands are issued to
the modem in Command Mode. The modem is in Command Mode when it
is disconnected from the phone line. This is sometimes referred to as the
Idle Mode.
An asynchronous communication program eliminates the need to learn the

modem commands. All AT commands, except A/ and the escape code
(+++) begin with the letters AT, meaning "attention". Several commands
may share a line as a single string of commands, but only one AT prefix is
required, at the beginning of the line. Each command consists of the
following elements:
The two character sequence AT

A command
A command parameter (optional)
A carriage return
Example:
To enter the command 'Answer', type ATA and <ENTER>.
If the subscript n = 0 is desired it is not necessary to type the "0". If the

n position is left blank the modem assumes a "0". Table 6.2
provides the full details of the AT commands.
Some commands do not have parameters. Any missing parameter in a

command is assigned the value zero, which may be a valid parameter for
the command. The sequence followed by AT command causes the
modem to enter a command state. That is, AT without a command serves
as a wake up code and an "OK" appears on the screen.
The modem queues commands in a 40-character command line. The

command line beginning with AT can have several commands. A

separator is not required between the commands. The command line

format is:
AT command (parameter)
(enter)
When a carriage return is received, which terminates the command line,

the commands are performed in the order in which they are sent to the
modem. If more them 40 characters are sent to the modem, an error
occurs and all command must be re-entered.
Most users only need to use a small portion of the AT command set, the
following paragraphs discuss how to perform the most common day-to-
day modem functions utilizing the AT commands.
After a command is entered, the modem sends a message, or result code,

to the terminal screen. Most commands are acknowledged by OK. The
modem can be arranged to send the result code in words or as digits with
the Word/Digit ATVn command. The most common result codes are:
WORD CODE DIGIT CODE MEANING

OK 0 Command line executed without
error.
CONNECT 1 Connection established.
RING 2 Ring Signal detected on the line.
Selecting a Factory Configuration

The leased line/dial-up modems have five factory default and five user
configurations. Any of these configurations can be called into action by
the AT command set, by association with a dialed number, or by the front
panel. The default factory configuration is for the most common
application of dial-up operation (AT&F0). The factory configurations are:
Leased Line Factory Configurations 0 through 4

DIAL-UP (AT&F0)
4W LEASED LINE ORIGINATE MODE (AT&F1)
4W LEASED LINE ANSWER MODE (AT&F2)
4 WIRE LEASED LINE ORIGINATE MODE W/UADBU (AT&F3)
4 WIRE LEASED LINE ANSWER MODE W/UADBU (AT&F4)

As shipped from the factory, "Factory Configuration 0" is also stored as

the "User Configuration 0", "Factory Configuration 1" is also stored as
"User Configuration 1", "Factory Configuration 2" is also stored as "User
Configuration 2", "Factory Configuration 3" is also stored as the "User
Configuration 3", and "Factory Configuration 4" is also stored as "User
Configuration 4". The desired differences can then be entered and stored
as user defined configurations. The factory configurations are defined in
TABLE 3.1 by using the DIAL-UP, AT&F0, as the reference and the basic
configuration.
Selecting a Configuration By AT Command

The AT&Fn command causes the modem to load the factory configuration
"n" into the active memory of the modem, putting the modem into a
known operating state. The AT%Mn command will load into active
memory one of the user configurations "n" stored with the AT&Wn
command, putting the modem into a known operating state.
The configuration can be used as it is, or modified to fit the application. If

the configuration is modified, it can either be abandoned at the end of the
session or stored into non-volatile memory with the AT&Wn command as
shown below.
The AT&Wn command stores a new user-specified configuration in non-

volatile memory. The new configuration is based on the current settings
of the modem S-registers. This new configuration will be active if it is
associated with a number to be dialed or activated by the AT%Mn
command.
FORMAT: AT&Wn
where n = 0 - 4 for the user configurations %M0 thru %M4
where n = 5 - 9 for the factory configurations &F0 thru &F4
The modem will load the last configuration that was saved when it is
powered up. A factory configuration can be used without deleting the
user configuration as long as the factory configuration is not saved as the
user configuration with the AT&Wn command.
Special Reset AT Command - AT&W255

This is a special command that resets the modem to the factory settings
including the erasing of all telephone numbers and attributes stored, and
the erasing of all passwords that may have been stored. However, this
command does not compromise the password security features of the
modem because if a supervisor password is stored then that password is

required in order to enter this AT&W255 command. The stored

configurations will be set to the factory conditions as given in Table 3.1.
This may be a useful and a known starting point in setting the modem for
differing applications. This special command is useful when the modem is
moved to a new location or a new application is being implemented. By
utilizing the AT&W255 the factory configurations are set at a known
starting point, and telephone numbers, attributes and security
features are erased for reentry as required.
International Variations to the Configuration

When these modems are used for international calls, there are a few
settings that should be changed. To receive a modem call from some
European countries, the guard tone must be turned on. England requires
an answering modem to have an 1800 Hz guard tone. Some Danish
central offices require a 550 Hz guard tone. The guard tones are turned
on with the AT&Gn command. If a required guard tone is not present, the
central office will disconnect the call within two minutes. When
originating an international call, S-Register 7 should be set to 120 seconds
(ATS7=120) to allow for the possible extended time for a call to be
connected. This assures there will be enough time for the call to be
connected and for the modems to train. Some software packages have a
limit for the modem connect time, e.g. Crosstalk default is 30 seconds.
Usually there is some way to increase the default time.

Timers
These modems have several timers that control the connection to the
phone line and the modem-DTE connection.
> Command Mode Inactivity Timer: In Command Mode, if the carriage

return <CR> is not entered within 30 seconds after the AT entry, the
command that follows is ignored. To resume work, you must enter AT
again to wake up the modem.
> On-Line Inactivity Timer: If no data is transferred for the period of

time specified in S-Register 32, the modem will automatically
disconnect from the telephone line. The inactivity can be related to
transmit data only, receive data only or to both as determined by the
AT%In command - see Chapter 6. The default is for the inactivity
timer to be disabled, AT%I0. Also, if S32 set to 0 the inactivity timer
is disabled. S32 may be zero or set to a positive value of 1-255
minutes (asynchronous mode only).
> Abort Timer: If no carrier tone is detected within the time period
specified in S-Register 7, the modem will drop the line. The default
time period is 60 seconds.
> Loss of Carrier: If the modem loses carrier, it will disconnect from the
telephone line after the period of time specified by S-Register 10. The
default is 2.0 seconds.

In Table 3.1 on the following pages, the first column displays the option,
the second column indicates the current option setting, and the third
column lists the associated AT command.
Note: An * (asterisk) in Table 3.1 preceding any option setting

indicates a change from the dial-up factory setting.

Dial-Up Operation
The modems can be used in the dial-up mode over the switched network.
The following procedure will allow the user to quickly set up the modem
for this common installation. The actual installation may be different from
the example. In that case, the user must interpret the instructions to fit
the application and the equipment used. The following procedure
assumes the modem is set to the as shipped factory default configuration
and an asynchronous terminal or PC running a terminal emulator program
is provided.
Connect the modem to the terminal or PC using an RS-232 cable with pins
2, 3, 7 and 20 as the minimum connection. If the terminal or PC does not
have a pin 20 (DTR) output, this signal can be forced on in the modem
with the AT&D0&W <CR> command (<CR> = Carriage Return or ENTER).
Some terminals or PCs require one or more of pins 5, 6 and 8 to operate.
In that case, those pins will require connection and/or be forced on by the
modem. See the AT commands in Table 6.1 and 6.2.
Set the terminal or PC speed to the highest speed of operation for

communications. The DTR LED on the front panel modem should be
illuminated. DTR must be on for an originating modem to connect or for
an answering modem to answer a call.
TYPE: AT <CR> Modem responds: OK
If the modem does not respond, the other pins mentioned above may
require connection and/or be forced on using the dipswitches. The RS-
232 cable may be mis-wired.

To Originate A Call
TYPE: ATDT<telephone number><CR>
The modem speaker will turn on. The following sounds will be heard:
Dial tone.
Touch tones as the modem dials.
The ring signal or a busy signal.
The answer tone from the remote modem.
A series of harsh sounds as the modems "handshake" and "train".
The following messages, as a minimum, will be sent to the terminal:

BUSY or
CONNECT 2400/V.42bis (or another speed)
CONNECT 1200/V.42bis (or another speed)
The speaker will turn off when the modems have finished the connection
sequence (handshake and training) and the CD LED will illuminate.
If the telephone line is not of good quality the modem may redial, or the
modem may operate at a lower speed and send a CONNECT message to
the terminal or PC. If the terminal does not auto-baud, or the modem is
not set for constant terminal speed, it will be necessary to change the
terminal speed.
To Answer A Call:
Connect the equipment as above.
TYPE: ATS0=1&W <CR> Modem responds: OK
The modem is now set to answer a call.
Note: This step may not be necessary. The modem is set for
auto-answer when shipped.
When a call comes in, the modem speaker will indicate the ringing.

The modem starts answering by sending the answer tone and starting the
training sequence. A series of harsh sounds will be heard as the modems
"handshake" and "train".
The speaker will turn off and the CD LED will illuminate on the modem
front panel.
The modem is now connected with the far-end modem.
Disconnecting From The Telephone Line

There are several ways to disconnect the modem from the telephone line
to end a call:
> Press the DL/DIS switch on the front panel; RESET on the Modem.
> Enter the escape code (+++) to return the modem to "AT" command
mode, then issue the ATH disconnect code from the DTE.
> If the modem is set to pay attention to DTR (AT&D2 is selected) turn
off DTR from the DTE or turn off the DTE. The modem will sense the
On-to-Off transition of DTR and will disconnect from the line.
> The modem will automatically disconnect if the remote modem

disconnects.
> If a positive value is stored in S-Register 32, the modem will

automatically disconnect from the line if no data is transmitted,
received or both (depending on the AT%In command) after the
number of minutes specified in S-Register 32. Setting S-Register 32 to
0 disables the online inactivity timer (asynchronous mode only).
> Turn off or unplug the modem from the wall connection.

Busy-Out
Busy-Out is typically used in applications where multiple modems are
used in a pooling environment and all incoming calls must be accounted
for. If a modem goes bad, it may block all other modems "behind" it from
receiving calls if not made busy. By enabling Busy-Out, the rotary group
will "skip" the bad modem and go to the next available modem.
Conditions that will cause a modem "busy-out" to occur include:

1) The modem power-up self-test failed.
2) No +5v power supplied to the modem.
3) No +12v or -12v supplied to the modem.
4) The modem rings 5 times without going off hook (this might occur if
no DTR signal is present).
5) The modem answered 5 consecutive incoming calls without

successfully connecting with the remote modem. This might occur if
the DSP is defective or the phone line is connected to the wrong
jack.
Notes:
1) Jumpers J-12 and J-13 must be put in the ON position
2 When a modem busy-out condition occurs the DTR, DSR,
CD, CTS, SQ, ERR, TST and speed LEDs will flash
continuously. Non-flashing LEDs will indicate the type of
failure that has occurred:
DTR +12v or -12v bad
DSR Ring without answer
CD Failed power-up self-test
CTS Failed answer handshake

Phone Directory
AJ modems have a 100-number directory to store telephone numbers,
name codes, passwords, attributes and call-linking codes. Information is
entered in the directory with the AT&Zn command.
To display the phone number list, enter the AT&N command. This
command displays the list of the phone numbers stored in non-volatile
memory. The format of the display and an example follows:
# NAME PASSWORD PHONE # LINK CNF ATTR

00 JOHN (510) 555-0000 04 D
01 FRANK B24E451 (510) 555-1111 N
02 HENRY Ad24rE (510) 555-2222 C
03 TOM (415) 555-3333 1 D
04 JOE (415) 555-3333 D
"#" The index of the stored phone number. This

number can range from 0 to 99.
"NAME" A 12-character ASCII string which is used for

dialing and answer security.
"PASSWORD" A 12-character ASCII string which is used for

answer security.
"PHONE NUMBER" A 25-character phone number, including

hyphens, parentheses, and dial modifiers.
"LINK" The index of the next stored number in a chain.

If an attempted call fails, the modem then dials
the "linked" number. In the above example,
suppose a call is made to John by typing
"ATDS0". If John's phone is busy then the
modem will automatically dial Joe.
"CNF" The stored configuration associated with this

phone number. This number can range from 0
to 9. In the above example, suppose a call is
made to Tom by typing "ATDS3". The
configuration stored in location 1 will be loaded
before dialing the phone number.

"ATTR" The attributes associated with this stored

number. Valid attributes are:
A - Auto initiated call (DTR or front panel)

D - Dial out location
N - Pass through answer security location
C - Call back answer security location
S - Secured location (no display)
P - Password transmit location
AT&Zn is used to store a phone number and associated information in

non-volatile memory at location "n".
FORMAT: AT&Zn:NAME:PASSWORD:PHONE:LINK:CNF:ATTR
Example:
AT&Z5:BILL:555-1234
stores the number "555-1234" at stored location 5 with the name
"BILL". The PASSWORD, LINK and CNF values are left blank to
indicate that they are not used. The ATTR will default to "D".
Example:
AT&Z7:SUE:T3O68:555-4321:::C
stores the number "555-4321" at stored location 7 with the name
"SUE", password "T3O68". The LINK and CNF values are blank
to indicate they are not used. ATTR is set to "C". An asterisk
can be used when changing a value in an existing phone number
record.
Example:
AT&Z4:*:*:*:*:N
will change the ATTR to "N" while leaving the remaining
information unchanged.
Example:
You want to make a long distance call using a credit card number
that makes the phone number longer than the standard 25
character limit:
AT&Z0:::510-555-1234-12345678+:1::D
AT&Z1:::90123456:::D
In location 0 (AT&Z0), the "+" character at the end of the phone number
string indicates that more digits are to be added to the phone number.
The LINK value of 1 is used to extend the phone number value into the
next directory listing (AT&Z1). The ATTR is set to D.
Security

There are extensive security features in the AJ modems to prevent

unauthorized access to the modem or attached equipment. The operation
of these features allows different means of security to be utilized as best
suited to the application. There are some precautions that should be
taken to make access more difficult:
> Passwords should be protected on a "need to know" basis.
> Passwords should be changed frequently, especially if there is a

turnover of personnel.
> Passwords should be alphanumeric and not something easily guessed.

The most frequently used combination for the safes on the Manhattan
Project was "238". If "TEST" or "JOE" were used for passwords, the
most unsophisticated attempts would breach the security. Using a
password such as "B45M9J3" would require a nearly impossible effort to
achieve access.
Please do not forget the passwords. There is no easy way to

access the modem for that circumstance and a return to the
factory for repair may be required.
Password Security
There are two types of passwords defined. The "operator" password is
required to operate the modem. The "supervisor" password is required for
higher level procedures such as to change options or to view memory.
The operator defines the 2 passwords using the "%PO" and "%PS"
commands described above.
Suppose that the following commands are entered:

AT%PO:USER:USER
AT%PS:SUPER:SUPER
AT%SC1
These commands set the operator password to be "USER" and the

supervisor password to be "SUPER" (Please do not use these as
passwords). In addition, the "AT" command security option has been
enabled. The modem will now not allow any "AT" commands until the
operator or supervisor password has been entered.

There are two ways to enter a password:

1. The password can be entered on the "AT" command line by enclosing it
in parentheses. For example:
AT(USER)DT555-1111
2. The "AT" command line can be entered without the password and the
modem will prompt for the password before executing the command.
For example:
ATDT555-1111
Enter password:
The user now enters the correct password and the modem will then dial
the number. The modem will not echo the characters as the password is
entered.
The supervisor password can be entered in place of the operator password

to allow complete access to all commands.
The password is entered only once. Once the password has

been entered it will remain in effect until either the modem is
reset or a connection is dropped.
Passwords Provide These Controls:
Allows access to AT dialer.

Dialing from memory, viewing stored numbers, changing stored
numbers.
Changing answerback, operator password, supervisor password.
Allows downline loading.

Remote Access Security Features
Pass-Through Access
The pass-through access security feature causes the answering modem to
request a password from a calling modem. If the password entered at the
calling modem matches one of the passwords stored in the answering
modem telephone number directory with an "N" attribute, the calling
modem will connect to the remote modem.
To set up pass-through access security:

1. Store the pass-through access security at the answering modem where
the password field is the password and "N" is the attribute.
2. Enable pass-through access security in the answering modem with the

command AT%SA1.
When pass-through security is enabled, the modem will prompt callers for
a password. If the caller enters the correct password, the modem will
allow access to the DTE. If the password entry is incorrect, the modem
will simply disconnect from the line.
Answer back
The answerback security feature function is like the pass-through access
function except the operator does not type the password. The answering
modem upon connection will request a password from the calling modem
by sending a special character. The calling modem must respond with the
correct answer back code within 2 seconds or it will be disconnected.
To set up answer back security:

Type AT&A:xxx..xxx:xxx..xxx<CR>, where xxx..xxx is the answer back
code of up to 12 characters on both the calling and answering modems.
When storing the answer back code it must be entered twice to ensure
that it is saved correctly.
To disable answer back security: Type AT&A<CR>.

Callback
Callback security protects data bases from unauthorized access by
requesting a password and calling back the telephone number associated
with that password. This security feature ensures that connections with
incoming calls are made only with authorized locations.
When the callback security feature is enabled, the answering modem will
request a password from the calling modem. If the password entered
matches one of the passwords stored with a "C" attribute in the answering
modem telephone number directory, the answering modem will
disconnect from the telephone line and place a call back to the calling
modem at the telephone number stored in the same memory location as
the password. If the AT%SB1 command is set in the answering modem,
when the call back telephone connection is made the initial answering
modem again requests the password from the initial calling modem. The
answering modem again compares the password from the calling modem
with the stored password, and if correct then data transmission is allowed.
Setting up call back security involves storing the appropriate telephone

number and password in memory with the "C" attribute and enabling call
back security with the AT%SA1 command. The answering modem will
have a random delay before dialing back the calling modem.
To set up call back security:

1. Store the call back number at the answering modem, where the
password field is the password, and the number is the number of the
dialing modem with the "CD" attributes.
2. Enable call back security in the answering modem with the command
AT%SA1.

Callback security can be selected for any or all of the 100 memory
locations. If more than one location is selected for call back, the modem
searches all "C" designated locations for the password entered by the
caller. If the password matches the password stored in one of those
locations, the modem disconnects and places a call to the number stored
in that location. If the password does not match the password with a "C"
designated number, the modem drops the line.
Note:
1) CD and DSR pins on the RS-232 interface connector can be held on
during the callback by entering the command AT*S1.
2) The prompt "Password:" can be set so it will not be sent to the remote
modem by entering the command %SP0.
3) The modem password can be set to select the upper and lower case by
entering the command %SL1.
Automatic Modem Password Access

The automatic modem password security operation, particularly useful
with synchronous terminals, provides an automatic exchange of the
password between the modems before data transmission is allowed.
When a phone number being dialed has an associated "P" attribute in the
calling modem, the modem will wait for a password prompt to be received
from the answering modem. If the calling modem receives the prompt in
a few seconds it will respond with the "PASSWORD" stored with the dialed
number and the "P" attribute. It will then allow data transmissions to
proceed. If no prompt is received then it will allow transmissions when
the timer expires in a few seconds. The answering modem for this type
security will store the password expected, and when received it will
proceed with data transmissions.
To set up automatic modem password access security:
1. Store the password in the "PASSWORD" field in both modems. Use the
"P" attribute plus an A" attribute (or a "D" attribute if dialing is by AT
commands from an asynchronous terminal keyboard) in the calling
modem, and the "N" attribute in the answering modem.
2. Enable the pass-through access security in the answering modem with

the AT%SA1 command.

3. For additional security, the answer back security and/or a second

password transmission may be implemented as in call back security.
For this operation include the "C" attribute instead of the "N" attribute
in the answering modem. See answer back and call back security
operations. For the automatic operation to function with the front
panel push button switch, the number dialed will be the first location in
the phone list with an "A" attribute stored and the "P" attribute must
be stored with the "A". If a second password request is used with call
back security the AT%SB1 command is set in the answer modem, and
it must also be set in the originate modem.
Examples:
1) Pass Through. The modem should prompt for name and password.
If a correct name/password combination is entered then the
connection is allowed to pass through.
AT%SA2 enable answer security

AT%SP1 prompts turned on
AT%ST0 allow 1 attempt
AT%SL0 case sensitivity disabled
AT&Z0:Joe:XXYZZ::::N store Joe
AT&Z0:Tom:XXZYY::::N store Tom

2) Call Back. The modem should prompt for name and password. If a
correct name/password combination is entered then the modem should
call back the user.

AT&Z0:Joe:XXYZZ:555-1111:::C store Joe
AT&Z0:Tom:XXZYY:555-2222:::C store Tom
3) Call Back. The modem should prompt for password only. If an

incorrect password is entered the modem should allow a second and
third attempt. If a correct password is entered then the modem
should call back the user.

AT%ST1 allow 3 attempts
4) Call Back. The modem should wait for password only, without
prompting. The password will consist of lower and upper case
characters. If a correct password is entered then the modem should
call back the user.

AT%SP0 prompts turned off
AT%SL1 case sensitivity enabled

Unattended Automatic Dial (UADBU) (Leased Line)
This feature is used to automatically originate and hold a connection

during a specified time of day. If the connection is dropped it will
automatically redial. For example, suppose you want the modem to
automatically originate a call between 8a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday thru
Friday and maintain the call within a specified time. Set the originate
modem as follows:
ATS72=8S73=17 <CR>: Set window from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. weekdays

AT%Y1: Modem will disconnect from dial line at the
end of window
AT%WD1: Originate only inside the window on
weekdays
AT%U1: Dial enabled
ATS74=0S75=0: Set window for the weekend
AT%WE1: Originate is disabled during the weekend
AT%O1: Set to originate
AT&L3: Unattended Automatic Dial Back-Up
AT&D0: Force DTR on
Restricted Auto Answer (Leased Line)

This feature is used when the customer needs the modem to not answer
after a specified time or to disconnect at a specified time. For example,
suppose you want the modem to answer between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Monday through Friday and disconnect at the end of the window. Set the
answer modem as follows:
ATS72=8S73=17 <CR>: Set window from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. weekdays

AT%Y1: Modem will disconnect from dial line at the
end of window
AT%WD1: Originate only inside the window on
weekdays
AT%U1: Answer enabled
ATS74=0S75=0: Set window for the weekend
AT%WE1: Originate is disabled during the weekend
AT%O0: Set to Auto Answer
AT&L3: Unattended Automatic Dial Back-Up only
AT&D0: Force DTR on

Automatic Answer Disable Timers

Another means of security is to control the time period when the modem
is allowed to automatically answer an incoming call. There are two
independent time intervals that can be set by the S-Registers, S90 and
S91, to provide this type security. A range of 1 to 255 minutes is allowed
for each register and a default setting of "0" disables the feature.
The setting of S90, Initial Auto Answer Disable Timer, provides a time
interval from the time the DTR signal is forced on, or it is turned on by the
DTE, to the time a ring signal is received. When this time interval expires
the modem is disabled and will not auto answer a call until it is reset. To
reset this timer press the DL/DIS switch twice, turn power off and then
on, or issue the ATZ general reset command.
The setting of S91, Redial Auto Answer Disable Timer, provides an allowed
time interval for a redial to occur. The time interval begins when a call is
auto answered. If the modem is unable to connect because of an
unacceptable signal, the timer allows a redial within the set time interval
to be auto answered. The timer is reset when the modem answers a call
but cannot complete a successful connection, the carrier is lost on an
answered call that is disconnected, or when a "load saved configuration"
operation is accomplished at a call disconnect. When the time expires the
modem will not auto answer a call until it is reset.

Remote Configuration
The AJ Modems feature the downline loading capability, which allows the
controlling site to configure or reconfigure all modems in a network from a
central location. All parameters in a modem's memory can be set
remotely, including all information stored in the telephone number
directory, all option settings, and the passwords. The AT&S command to
the remote modem will provide the status screens of the remote modem
to the local operator. The procedure to implement downline loading is:
Set the modem for asynchronous mode (AT&M0).
Place a data call to the remote modem.
After the security password exchange,
ENTER: CONTROL Z - three times

(in the same manner as "+++").
The modem will request the supervisor password.
ENTER: Supervisor Password.

The modem will reply: OK
The operator at the local site now has control of the remote modem and
may proceed to issue AT commands to the remote modem.
ENTER: AT commands - followed by a carriage return in the

usual manner.
When configuration operation is completed then:
ENTER: ATO - to return to data mode.
Note If the remote DTE is echoing the data, then the

downline load character defined and stored in S38 of the
remote modem must be different from the downline load
character defined and stored in S38 of the local modem.
If these characters are not set different then the
modems will both become locked in a downline load
condition.

Error Correction and Data Compression

The AJ Modems support V.42 error correction LAPM protocol plus V.42bis
data compression, and the Microcom Networking Protocol (MNP) Class 4
error correction plus MNP Class 5 data compression. These protocols are
designed to be as transparent to the user as possible. These operations
are discussed in the paragraphs that follow.
LAPM/MNP Error Correction Operation

LAPM/MNP provides error free communications and a boost in throughput.
LAPM/MNP works by dividing data to be transmitted into segments, or
frames. Each frame is transmitted with additional information so that the
receiving modem can determine if an error occurred in the frame. If there
is an error, the receiving modem requests the transmitting modem to
retransmit the frame. A frame will be retransmitted until it is received
correctly, or the two modems decide that the telephone line is too
degraded to allow acceptable transmission, and then hang up.
LAPM/MNP has its own flow control and break handling methods built into
the protocol. This means that a LAPM/MNP communications link is always
divided into three virtual links: a non-error corrected link between the
DTE and modem, the LAPM/MNP error corrected link between the
modems, and another non-error corrected link between the remote
modem and remote device.
When the AT*Tn command is set for LAPM operation with n=2, or if LAPM
is automatically operative when n=3, an error free connection will be
established with an enhanced throughput. Errors in the data transmission
will be detected and corrected with generally no noticeable effect to the
operator. The LAPM operation begins with a detection phase of a time
period determined by the setting of the S87 register (default time setting
is 0.75 seconds).

LAPM/MNP Error Correction Operation (cont.)

During the detection phase the originating modem transmits a special
character pattern and the answering modem responds with another
special pattern. If the originating modem detects the response pattern
within the detect time a LAPM connection is established. If the special
pattern for LAPM is not detected the originating modem proceeds to a
MNP connection if MNP is enabled. If the answering modem does not
receive the special LAPM pattern from the originating modem within the
detect time it will wait for a MNP frame for 3 seconds if MNP is enabled.
Note: If the S87 register time is set to "0" the detection phase is
bypassed and the modems proceed directly to a LAPM connection and the
fallback to MNP will be disabled.
When an originating modem receives the appropriate carrier signal and

then determines it is not a LAPM link, it then sends an MNP frame which
contains parameters concerning the level of MNP the modem can support.
Upon receipt of this frame, the answering modem sends a similar frame,
and the two modems negotiate to use the highest mutually supported
level of MNP. If the answering modem does not send its initial frame, or
sends non-MNP data, the originating modem will recognize that the
answering modem does not support MNP. In such a case, the modem will
connect in the non-MNP mode or will go on-hook, depending upon the
command issued.
CAUTION: When the answering non-MNP modem passes the initial MNP
frame to a computer system it is likely to be unintelligible
data to the system and provoke an undesired computer
response. For such situations it may be necessary to not
attempt to originate an MNP type call to the non-MNP
modem, or to incorporate some action by the computer
system to ignore the initial modem data containing the MNP
frame.
Once a MNP link is formed, it is maintained until it is explicitly stopped

with a command, the phone line becomes too noisy or degraded, or the
modem goes on-hook.

The LAPM/MNP feature is enabled by the following procedure:
1) Enable a DTE flow control option:
The flow control function instructs a DTE to stop transmitting if the

modem buffers fill to capacity. Modem buffers tend to fill up rapidly
whenever severe line conditions are encountered. Modems usually initiate
the Stop Transmitting command by either dropping the Clear to Send
(CTS) signal, or alternately by transmitting XOFF.
If the DTE responds to the CTS signal, it will stop transmitting when the
CTS signal is not in the active state. For this condition use the command:
AT*LG2
If the DTE responds to XON/XOFF characters, use the command:

AT*LG1*RF1
2) Enable the LAPM/MNP operation enter: AT*Mn
The following chart summarizes the functions provided by setting of the

AT*Mn command:
Command LAPM/MNP
Active Mode
AT*M0 no Direct mode
AT*M1 no Normal
AT*M2 maybe Automatic
AT*M3 yes Exclusive
To enable the LAPM/MNP connect message, enter: AT*V1
To check the status of the modem, enter: AT&Sn

n = 0 - Complete modem configuration display
Note: If the LAPM/MNP feature will be frequently utilized, it is important

that the AT&W command is entered to save the flow control and
LAPM/MNP options set in non-volatile memory. As a result, the
modem will power up with these options set, and it will not be
necessary to reset these options in the event of power loss.

V.42bis and MNP Class 5 Data Compression:

With a LAPM or a MNP connection this command offers the user the option
of data compression in addition to error correction to increase throughput.
If enabled, V.42bis compression will be active for a LAPM connection or
MNP Class 5 data compression will be active for a MNP connection. These
operations are entirely transparent to the user.
The AT*En Command for Data Compression:

AT*En Where "n" is either "0" or "1"
AT*E0 = Data compression is disabled
AT*E1 = (Default) Modem will operate with V.42bis data compression if a
LAPM link is established, or will operate with MNP Class 5 data
compression if a MNP link is established.
The AT*En command enables or disables data compression when a LAPM

or MNP connection is established. If AT*E1 is set, which is the default
state, then the modem will attempt to operate with compression when it
originates or answers a call. If AT*E0 is set then the modem will not
provide compression. Most users will benefit from keeping the default
setting of AT*E1 and using the data compression facility whenever
available. If the data stream consists mainly of binary information, then
the throughput will be increased by disabling compression with AT*E0.
The AT&S9 Status Display

To review the Error Correction Status Display discussed below, enter the
AT&S9 command. Both a LAPM and a MNP Class 5 example and details
are provided below.

The two columns are for transmit and receive statistics, respectively. The
line labeled "Seconds" shows the number of seconds since the
communications link was formed. In the above example, the modems
were linked for 53113 seconds, or nearly 15 hours, when the status
display was obtained.

Characters (LAPM)
The line labeled "Characters" shows the number of characters sent and
received by the modem since the link was formed.
Bytes (LAPM)
The line labeled "Bytes" shows the number of bytes sent and received by
the modem since the link was formed. Without compression with a LAPM
link the "Characters" and "Bytes" are the same. If compression is active
then the "Bytes" sent and received are significantly less than the
"Characters" sent and received as a result of the compression operation.
Data Frames (LAPM)

The line labeled "Data Frames" shows the number of LAPM data frames
sent and received.
RNR Frames (LAPM)

The line labeled "RNR Frames" shows the number of "Receive Not Ready"
frames sent and received. The modem sends a RNR frame when it is not
ready to receive data frames.
RR Frames (LAPM)
The line labeled "RR Frames" shows the number of "Receive Ready"
frames sent and received.
The modem sends a RR frame when it is ready to receive data frames.
REJ Frames (LAPM)

The line labeled "REJ Frames" shows the number of "Reject" frames sent
and received. The modem sends a REJ frame when an error is detected
that requires the remote modem to resend a data frame.
Attn Frames (LAPM)

The line labeled "Attn Frames" shows the number of LAPM break signals
sent and received.

Attn Ack Frames (LAPM)

The line labeled "Attn Ack Frames" shows the number of LAPM break
signal acknowledgments sent and received. The next two lines show the
maximum number of bytes allowed in a data frame. The first line shows
the maximum number in effect at the time the status display was
obtained. The second line shows the absolute maximum number agreed
upon by the two modems when the LAPM link was formed. If there are
many errors on the phone line then the maximum number of bytes per
data frame is reduced to increase the throughput.
The last line with a LAPM error correction link indicates the LAPM
connection plus the window size that the modems have agreed they can
both buffer internally in the transmit and the receive directions. The last
line with a V.42bis data compression link indicates the V.42bis connection
plus the directions that compression is operative, the dictionary size and
the string length.

The two columns are for transmit and receive statistics, respectively. The
line labeled "Seconds" shows the number of seconds since the
communications link was formed. In the above example, the modems
were linked for 53113 seconds, or nearly 15 hours, when the status
display was obtained.

Characters
The line labeled "Characters" shows the number of uncompressed
characters sent and received by the modem since the link was formed.
The data throughput can be calculated by dividing the number of
characters sent or received by the time.
Bytes
The line labeled "Bytes" shows the number of compressed bytes sent and
received by the modem since the link was formed. The compression ratio,
a measure of the compressibility of the data, may be obtained by dividing
the number of uncompressed characters sent or received by the number
of compressed bytes sent or received. In the example, the transmit
compression ratio is 21250216 uncompressed characters divided by
15362453 compressed characters or 1.38. This means every data byte
sent by the modem represented 1.38 bytes of user's data.
Data Frames
The line labeled "Data Frames" shows the number of MNP data frames
sent and received.
Dup Data Frames

The line labeled "Dup Data Frames" shows the number of MNP data
frames that were resent because of an error. In the example, the modem
was notified of one error and resent three data frames because of it.
Data Ack Frames

The line labeled "Data Ack Frames" shows the number of MNP data
acknowledge frames sent and received.
Errors
The line labeled "Errors'" shows the number of MNP data errors sent and
received.
Attn Frames
The line labeled "Attn Frames" shows the number of MNP break signals
sent and received.

Attn Ack Frames

The line labeled "Attn Ack Frames" shows the number of MNP break signal
acknowledgments sent and received.
The next two lines show the maximum number of bytes allowed in a data
frame. The first line shows the maximum number in effect at the time the
status display was obtained. The second line shows the absolute
maximum number agreed upon by the two modems when the MNP link
was formed. If there are many errors on the phone line then the
maximum number of bytes per data frame is reduced to increase the
throughput.
The last line indicates the MNP Class 5 operation plus the number of data
frames that the two modems have agreed they can both buffer internally.
MNP supports three classes of modem connection:
Class 1. A rarely seen, asynchronous, half duplex modem link

(not supported).
Class 2. An asynchronous, full duplex modem link.
Class 3. A synchronous, full duplex link.
"MNP Class 4" may be a misleading name because it is simply a set of

optimizations which can be applied to any of the classes 1 through 3. The
optimizations are less overhead in data and data acknowledgment frames,
more user data allowed in data frames, and an algorithm that adjusts the
amount of user data in each data frame for maximum throughput. If the
MNP link is using these optimizations then the word "Optimized" will
appear.
Similarly, "MNP Class 5" compression is another enhancement that can be

applied to any of the classes 1 through 3 with or without the Class 4
enhancements. If the MNP link is using compression, then "Class 5" will
appear.

Front Panel Configurations
This section describes the front panel operation. The front panel of the
Rackmount modems have 12 LEDs; 9 green and 3 red. The LEDs
indicate the operating status of the modem.
ACU Dialing:
Connect the telephone line from the ACU to the TELINE jack on the
modem rear panel. When utilizing an ACU issue the AT&J2 command (see
Section 6) to activate the modem response to the MI/MIC contact closure.
The call is dialed by the ACU and when the ACU detects the called modem
has answered it will momentarily short the MI/MIC leads from the modem.
This momentary contact causes the modem to go off-hook and be in the
originate mode. The ACU will then disconnect from the telephone line and
data transmission can proceed.

Figure 4.1: Rackmount Modem Front Panel
The front panel of the AJ Rackmount has six touch switches and 12 LEDs.
The LEDs indicate the operating status of the modem and are described in
Table 4.2. The front panel switches, the LEDs and their labels are shown
pictorial above. The functions of the switches are given in Table 4.1
below. All switch actuations are momentary unless otherwise noted.
Note: The front panel may be disabled by setting Bit 2 of S-Register S102
to a "1".

Table 4.1: Rackmount Front Panel Button Functions
Table 4.1: Rackmount Front Panel Functions

LAL Pressing this switch initiates the Local Analog
Loopback Test when off-line. Pressing this switch
initiates the Local Digital Loopback Test when on-line.
Pressing this switch a second time terminates the
test. These tests do not use the internal test
generator and comparator.
RDL Pressing this switch initiates the Remote Digital
Loopback Test when on-line. Pressing this switch a
second time terminates the test. This test does not
use the internal test generator and comparator.
ORIG/ANS When off-line, momentarily pressing this switch
causes the modem to go off-hook and operate in the
originate mode, and pressing the switch for more
than 2 seconds causes the modem to operate in the
answer mode. If this switch is pressed when a ring
signal is being received, the modem will be forced
off-hook in the answer mode. If the modem is on-
line and this switch is pressed, the operating
configuration will be displayed by the appropriate
LED. Pressing the switch a second time will
terminate the configuration display.
DISC When on-line, momentarily pressing the switch
causes the modem to disconnect from the telephone
line in dial up or leased line operation, and returns
the modem to the Command Mode. Holding this
switch for more than 4 seconds causes the modem to
disconnect and then perform a hardware reset (same
as the power reset). Immediately after the power-up
test and the three beeps, the appropriate LED will
indicate for 2 seconds the configuration that is
loaded. If the switch remains pressed during this 2
second interval, the modem will be in the
Configuration Select Mode and then may be toggled
between the User and Factory Configuration Select
Modes by the use of the DIAL switch. A subsequent
pressing of the DISC switch will cause the modem to
return to the Idle Mode. The modem will then
operate with the selected configuration.
If the modem is on-line in a dial backup operation

then momentarily pressing this switch will cause the
modem to return to the Leased Line Mode. Pressing
momentarily again will cause a disconnect from the
leased line.
If the modem is off-line and the leased option is

Table 4.1: Rackmount Front Panel Functions

selected, momentarily pressing the DISC switch will
cause the modem to return to the Leased Line Mode.
FBS When off-line, each depression will toggle the speed
from 2400 to 1200 to 300 etc. depending on the
telephone transmission speeds allowed by other
settings.
When in the Configuration Select Mode each

depression of the FBS switch steps through the
configurations 0,1,2,3 and 4 as indicated by the
LEDs. This cycle will begin with the current
configuration setting.
DIAL When in normal dial operation pressing this switch
initiates the dialing of the first stored telephone
number with the "A" attribute. When connected in
leased line operation it initiates a manual dial backup
operation. When in dial backup operation pressing
this switch with turn off the beeper. When the
modem is in the Configuration Select Mode this
switch toggles the modem between the User and the
Factory Configurations.

Table 4.2: Rackmount Front Panel LED Indicators
LED Function:
DTR Data Terminal Ready - Lights when the modem receives a
DTR on signal from the local DTE indicating the terminal
device is ready for data communication, or when the DTR
signal is forced on by the modem; otherwise this LED is
flashing when in the Idle Mode. When in the Configuration
Select Mode this LED indicates "Configuration 0". (Also
indicates a defective ROM at the end of a failed power up
test or a reset.)
DSR Data Set Ready - Flashes when the ring signal is being
received from the telephone line or when an RDL test is in
progress from the local/remote modem. Lights steady
when the answer tone is received. When in the
Configuration Select Mode this LED indicates "Configuration
1". (Also indicates a defective RAM at the end of a failed
power up test or a reset.) DSR flashing indicates in leased
line originate mode.
CD Carrier Detect - Lights when the modem detects an
acceptable carrier signal on the line or when the CD is
forced on by the modem. When in the Configuration Select
Mode this LED indicates "Configuration 2". (Also indicates a
defective non-volatile memory at the end of a failed power
up test or a reset.)
CTS Clear to Send - Lights when the modem can send data, i.e.
time delays and handshake operations including MNP
negotiations have been completed. Also the RTS signal
from the DTE must be on, or must be forced on by the
modem. When in the Config. Mode this LED indicates
"Configuration 3".
SQ Signal Quality - Lights when the modem has detected a
signal of acceptable quality for data transmission to
proceed. When in the Configuration Select Mode this LED
indicates Configuration 4".
TD Transmit Data - Flickers in response to data transmitted.
RD Receive Data - Flickers in response to data received by the
modem.
ERR Error - Lights momentarily each time an error is detected in
an MNP controlled data transmission. When a loopback test
is performed using the internal test generator and
comparator, the ERR LED will flash when an error is
detected.
TST Test - Lights when the modem is in a test mode from a local
or a remote input. Continuous flashing indicates the
modem is in a dial backup operation.

LED Function:
HI, MED, LO High, Medium, Low - The HI, MED and LO LEDs provide
a visual indication of the speed at which the modem is
currently operating or set to. Each LED has two
operating modes, on steady and flashing. This allows
for displaying one of the 12 most common operating
speeds.
HI Modem Speed LED State
2400 bps ON STEADY
MED Modem Speed LED State
1200 bps ON STEADY
LO Modem Speed LED State
300 bps ON STEADY
During normal modem operation, the LEDs should light from left
to right. That is, DTR should light first, indicating that the local
DTE is online; followed by DSR, indicating a ring signal and
answer tone; and then CD, indicating presence of the data
carrier.
Rackmount Dialing Procedures NOT Using AT Commands

In addition to the "AT" command set for asynchronous dialing operation,
the AJ Rackmount modem offers other ways to dial a telephone number.
These methods can be particularly useful when controlling the modem
from a synchronous terminal, but they apply also for an asynchronous
terminal.
Dialing via front panel DIAL switch.

Dialing via DTR control.
Manual dialing.
Auto Call Unit (ACU) dialing.
Note: To abort a dialing procedure, simply strike any key on the DTE
keyboard or press DISC.
Dialing via Front Panel DIAL Switch:

Press the DIAL switch on the front panel. The modem dials the first
number stored in memory with the "A" attribute. The modem will switch
to manual originate if the "A" attribute is not stored.

DTR Control Dialing:

Turn the DTR circuit on. The modem dials the first number stored in
memory with the "A" attribute. The modem will switch to manual
originate if the "A" attribute is not stored.
Manual Dialing:
Connect the telephone cable from the telephone set to the DIAL 1 jack on
the rear panel of the modem. Dial the telephone number of the modem
to be called and listen for the high pitched tone from the modem
answering your call. Momentarily press the DIAL switch, then hang up
the telephone handset and proceed with the data transmission.
ACU Dialing:
Connect the telephone line from the ACU to the DIAL 2 jack on the
modem rear panel.
When utilizing an ACU issue the AT&J2 command (see Section 5) to

activate the modem response to the MI/MIC contact closure. The call is
dialed by the ACU and when the ACU detects the called modem has
answered it will momentarily short the MI/MIC leads from the modem.
This momentary contact causes the modem to go off-hook and be in the
originate mode. The ACU will then disconnect from the telephone line and
data transmission can proceed.

Leased Line Operation
Modems configured with leased line operation will operate on 2 or 4-Wire
leased lines. Most 2-Wire leased lines are actually 4-Wire leased lines
with 4-Wire to 2-Wire adapters installed. A 4-Wire leased line connection
is preferred because the installation is less cluttered and has no signal
degradation from the adapter.
When the modems are connected on a leased line, one modem is

designated as the originating modem and the other as the answering
modem. The configurations for each are slightly different.
The following procedure will allow the user to quickly set up the modem
for the most common 4-Wire installation, assuming the modem is set to
factory default. An asynchronous terminal or a PC internal emulator mode
is assumed attached.
Connect the leased line to the leased line jack on the rear of the chassis.
Connect the modem to the terminal using an RS-232 cable with pins 2, 3,
7, and 20 as the minimum connection. If the terminal does not have a
pin 20 (DTR) output, this signal can be forced on in the modem with the
AT&D0 <CR> command (<CR> = Carriage Return or enter). Some
terminals require one or more of pins 5, 6, and 8 to operate. In that
case, those pins will require connection and/or be forced on by the
modem. See the AT commands.
See Section 6 for further information on Auto Baud Rate Detection and
setting fixed DTE speed. Set the terminal speed to the highest speed for
communications. The DTR must be ON for an originating modem to
connect or for an answering modem to answer a call.
TYPE: AT <CR> Modem responds: OK
If the modem does not respond, the other pins mentioned above may
require connection and/or be forced on using the dipswitches as described
in Chapter 2. The RS-232 cable may be mis-wired.

For the Originating Modem:

TYPE: AT&D&L2%O1&WZ <CR>
Note: DSR LED will flash continuously to indicate the modem is in

ORIGINATE mode.
For the Answering Modem:

TYPE: AT&D&L2%O0&WZ <CR>
The modems will then go through a training sequence and connect with
each other. The CTS, CD, SQ and speed LEDs of both modems will
illuminate. The speaker will be off.
The modems will stay connected until there is a severe degradation in the
leased line or a power failure. When the power returns or the leased line
improves, the modems will automatically reconnect.
Leased Line Commands:

The following commands affect the leased line operation.
AT&Ln n = 0: No leased line

n = 1: 2-W leased line
n = 2: 4-W leased line
n = 3: Unattended Automatic Dial Back-Up (UADBU)
only
AT%XLn n (0-8): Leased line transmit level. (0 dBm through -16
dBm in 2 dBm steps for n =0 through 8.)
Set one modem to be in LEASED LINE ORIGINATE and the other in

LEASED LINE ANSWER utilizing the AT%On command - see page 75.
Save options to non-volatile memory.
Press DIS on both modems. The modems should establish the connection
in 30 seconds. If the leased line fails, the modems will try to retrain. If
dial back up is not enabled, the modem will wait for the leased line to be
restored and then start training to reconnect.

Unattended Automatic Dial Back Up

These modems include the capability to implement the Unattended
Automatic Dial Back Up (UADBU) feature. The modem can be configured
so that it will automatically restore the data link on the switched network
if the leased line fails. UADBU operates under clock-calendar control so
the modems will not make unnecessary dial back up calls.
In order to configure the modems for UADBU, start with the leased line
set-up. The following additional commands are necessary:
For the Originating Modem:

STORE A TELEPHONE NUMBER WITH AN "A" ATTRIBUTE. (See PHONE
DIRECTORY OPERATION, page 37)
TYPE: AT&L2%L1%U1&W <CR>
For the Answering Modem:

TYPE: AT&L2%L1%U1&W <CR>
The modems are now set to go into UADBU when the leased line degrades
or is disconnected. In order to limit UADBU to certain times, set the limits
with the commands listed below. The %Ln command must be enabled for
the modem to "lookback" at the leased line to see if it is restored.
UADBU can also be controlled by pin 14 of the RS-232 interface. A logical

HIGH on pin 14 will force the modem connected to the leased line to make
a dial back up call. (AT%U0 must be entered for this to work.)

The following commands affect the leased line and UADBU operation.
Table 5.1: UADBU Commands

AT&LN n = 0: No leased line (unit is in Dial modem mode).
n = 1: 2-Wire leased line.
n = 2: 4-Wire leased line.
n = 3: Unattended Automatic Dial Back-Up only.
AT%XLn n (0-8) Leased line transmit level.
AT%On n = 0: Leased Line ANSWER Mode.
n = 1: Leased Line ORIGINATE Mode.
AT%Un n = 0: Dial Backup disabled.
n = 1: Dial Backup enabled.
AT%WDn n = 0: Dial Backup is enabled outside the window on
weekdays.
n = 1: Dial Backup is enabled inside the window on
weekdays.
ATS72=n n (0-23) Weekday window starting hour.
ATS73=n n (0-23) Weekday window ending hour.
AT%WEn n = 0: Dial Backup is enabled outside the window on

n = 1: Dial Backup is enabled inside the window on
weekends.
ATS74=n n (0-23) Weekend window starting hour.
ATS75=n n (0-23) Weekend window ending hour.
AT%Yn n = 0: The MODEM Dial Backup stays connected to
dial line at end of window.
n = 1: The MODEM Dial Backup will disconnect from
dial line at end of window.
AT%Ln n = 0: Leased Line lookback disabled.
n = 1: Leased Line lookback enabled.

Dial Back-Up Lookback
When leased line lookback option is enabled the lookback timer S-Register
56 should be enabled.
ATS56=n Wait for n (0-255) minutes interval, then lookback at the

leased line for 10 seconds; n=0 is constant lookback.
When auto-lookback is enabled and S56 is set greater than zero, the
following will happen: The modem, detecting that the leased line is
restored, will attempt to retrain on the leased line. If the training fails,
the modem will go back to the dial-up line. This will happen once before
S56 takes over. From then on, the modem will wait for the time period
stored in S56 before attempting a lookback.
Set one modem to be in LEASED LINE ORIGINATE and the other to be in

LEASED LINE ANSWER (AT%On command). Save options to non-volatile
memory.
Press "DL/DIS" on both modems. The modems should establish the

connection in 30 seconds. Each time a leased line connection is initiated
the stored leased line defaults will be reloaded. This allows the dial back
up configuration settings to be different from the leased line. If the
leased line fails, the modems will try to retrain.
If dial back up is not enabled, the modem will wait for the leased line to
be back in operation, then start training and establish the connection.
If dial back up is enabled, the modems will try to train on the leased line
for 15 seconds. If not successful, the originate mode modem will dial the
phone number with the "A" attribute, and the answering modem should
answer the ring and connect. The speaker will emit a tone every second
to announce the leased line is down, but it can be turned off by pressing
DL/DIS button momentarily or by the AT%V0 command.
If leased line lookback is enabled, the originate modem will transmit a 0

dBm pilot tone every two seconds to the leased line and wait for response
from the answering modem.
The answering modem, when detecting the pilot tone, will send back a
1/2 second tone, hold the dial line, go back to the leased line and start
training. The originate modem, when detecting a tone from remote
modem, will hold the dial line, go back to the leased line and start training
for 15 seconds.
If the training is not successful, both modems will switch back to the dial
line and re-establish the connection.

Additional Dial Back Up Lookback Features

By the use of S-Registers 77 and 78 two additional features can be
invoked for the dial back up operations. The first is to have the modem
make the dial back up call and maintain the dial connection for five
minutes before attempting the lookback action. The second is to have the
modem test the dial back up link once every twenty-four hours. These
features are controlled by the S77 and S78 registers as follows:
S77 = 0 - disables these features

S77 = 25 - enables the five minute hold on the dial
connection before attempting a lookback. For
both of the above S77 settings the S78 setting is
not relevant.
S77 = 1 through 24 - is the hour clock setting for the test of the dial
back up link with 24 considered as midnight.
S78 = 0 through 59 - is the minute setting for the test of the dial back
up link.
The dial back up link test will establish a link with both carriers detected
and then will hang-up and return to lease line operation. If this test is
successful pin 25 of the EIA connector will toggle from OFF to ON then
OFF with an on interval of 500 milli-seconds. For this indication the
dipswitch settings must include S2-3 in the OFF position and S2-4 in the
ON position.

Manual Dial Back-Up Operation

As an alternative to automatic dial back up the manual dial back up
capability provides full control over the operation of the modem on dial-up
lines. To initiate manual dial back up operation proceed with the initiation
of a dial call from a number in storage. The modem will proceed to dial
the number stored with an "A" attribute and connect (see Section 4 for
detailed front panel operation). A beeper sound will be heard indicating
the modem is in a dial back up operation.
To return the modems to leased line operation, proceed with a disconnect

from the dial connection and the modem will return to the leased line and
initiate the training operation. If the leased line is "good" the data
connection will be re-established.
Note: Manual dial back up can only be initiated from the originating
modem.

test bad.
FLASH ID BAD - Unsupported memory device type
installed in U-21 and U-22.
FLASH WRITE BAD - Cannot write to flash memory
installed in U-21 and U-22.
FLASH OK - Flash memory is functioning
correctly.
After a FLASH OK response, the modem will respond with Restoring
FLASH for 10 seconds. During this time the Flash Memory is restored
from RAM and a modem reset is performed. The modem will not respond
to any commands until the rest is complete.
Register S18 is a test timer which can be used in conjunction with any
active test mode command to cause the modem to exit from test mode
after the number of seconds (1-255) specified in the register. If the
register is set to 0, the test timer will not expire, and the modem will not
exit test mode until the test is manually terminated.

modem "busy-out" condition is set.
For example:
ATS0=1*H1S20=5&W
will configure the modem to answer after the first ring, enable the "busy-
out", and set the unanswered ring threshold to 5 rings.

The international command set for modem control is defined by the CCITT
and termed V.25 bis. Some countries require V.25 bis to be the only
means of controlling a modem, and some require the modem to respond
to V.25 bis commands but allow other command sets to be used. For
controlling a modem by synchronous commands, there is no other serious
contender for a de facto standard.
The V.25 bis command set has very limited capacity to control a modem
except for the basic dialing functions. For most modem settings, the AT
command set will be found more useful and provides for easier
configuration of the modem options. The details of the commands and
responses of the V.25 bis command set follows.
Note: The V.25 bis EIA signaling must be configured using either AT
commands or the front panel. The AT commands to enable
V.25bis signaling are:
AT &C2
AT %C3
AT %D2
This configuration will allow the DSR, CD and CTS EIA signals to
function as specified in the V.25bis specification.

S-Registers
S-REGISTER FUNCTIONS
The S-Registers are used to set the numerous operating parameters of

the modem. There are many parameters of operation that may be varied
to satisfy the many possible data communications applications. Many of
these parameters are stored and remain operative until changed. Some
hold data for a given situation and the data is erased when reset or power
is lost. Use of the bit-mapped registers requires familiarity with the
format and logic involved. If a bit-mapped register is changed in error
with the ATSr=n command, the AT&Fn command will restore all of the
registers of the configuration to factory settings. The values in TABLE 7.1
give the decimal value <nn>or the hexadecimal code when a "h" is
indicated <xxh> for the S-Registers. When the S-Registers are read by
the ATSr? command the response will be a decimal value. If an S-
Register is changed by the ATSr=n command, the n is a decimal value.
On the following pages many S-Registers are shown in the binary "bits"
notation for bit-mapped options. If the binary bits are converted to their
decimal equivalent, this will be the decimal value shown in response to
the ATSr? command. Several S-Registers have been assigned that are
not used, or are reserved, and are not applicable to these modems. This
detail is noted when appropriate. The two tables that follow provide
listings of the S-Registers in numeric order and then by functional groups.
A third table is provided that lists all S-Registers with further details.

Maintenace, Testing & Warranty
The routine maintenance for the AJ 2443 Leased Line Modems is limited to
cleaning the units, checking that airflow is adequate, and checking for
loose or damaged cables.
a. EXTERIOR SURFACES - Clean external modems with a soft cloth.
b. INTERIOR SURFACES - It is essential in the PC chassis that the

airflow be unrestricted. When dust or other particles are present that
can reduce airflow past the modem and power supply module in the
PC chassis it is essential that they be removed. This must be done
with care to ensure that no modem or PC chassis components or
wiring are disturbed.
c. FAN FILTER - If a fan is included in the PC, its filter and any
passageways for airflow must be kept clean to allow for unrestricted
airflow.
d. HARDWARE - Check that units are plugged fully into the connectors
of the PCs chassis.
e. CABLE CONNECTIONS - Check all cable connections at the back of

the PC chassis for proper connections and mounting with the
connector screws. Inspect for wear and fraying. Repair if necessary.
Maintenance Log
Record the fault indications and corrective actions taken in a maintenance
log for trouble shooting reference information. When technical support
personnel analyze problems it is often critically important to know the
many related details of the failures.

Maintenance, Testing & Warranty
Guide To Testing
A failure in a communication link may be the result of a problem in the
local or remote modem, the local or remote DTE, or the telephone
company circuit. Should a problem arise, the following steps must be
taken to isolate the problem.
1. Verify the integrity of the modem by performing the Local Analog

Loopback (LAL) with self-test at the local and remote modems.
2. If the results of both tests are good, perform the Remote Digital
Loopback (RDL) with self-test to verify that the modem-to-modem
communication link is operating properly.
If the link fails the RDL test, but the modems pass the LAL tests, it
is likely that the telephone circuit is the problem. Report the
problem to the telephone company if the problem persists.
3. To verify the modem and the DTE, perform the Local Analog
Loopback test.
If this test is unsuccessful, but good results were obtained with the
LAL with self-test, the DTE is likely the problem source.

AT Command Set Test Operation

The AT&Tn command selects from the wide range of testing options
provided by the modem. Selections range from the simple LAL (Local
Analog Loopback) test to the complex RDL (Remote Digital Loopback) test
with self-test generator and comparator.
FORMAT: AT&Tn
n = 0 - Terminates test mode; returns modem to command mode
n = 1 - ALB/LAL (Local Analog Loopback)
n = 2 - (Factory use only)
n = 3 - Initiate LDL/DLB (Local Digital Loopback)
n = 4 - Enable response to RDL (Remote Digital Loopback) remote
requests
n=5 Disable response to RDL remote requests
n = 6 - Initiate RDL
n = 7 - Initiate RDL with self-test generator and comparator that
reports number of errors and issues audible responses
n = 8 - Initiate LAL/ALB with self-test
n = 9 - Initiate LAPM RDL with self-test
Register S-18 is a test timer which can be used in conjunction with any
active test mode command to cause the modem to exit from test mode
after the number of seconds (0-255) specified in the register. If the
register is set to 0, the test timer will not expire, and the modem will not
exit test mode until the test is manually terminated by pressing the
disconnect function button on the front panel.
The ATIn command requests a product firmware revision code from the
modem, or runs a memory test. When the ATZ command is given to
reset the modem, the modem will perform a self-test.
The AT%EAn command (0 = Disabled; 1 = Enabled) allows the modem to

perform a local analog loopback test when EIA pin 18 or pin 25 is raised
depending on the dipswitch settings.
The AT%ERn command (0 = Disabled; 1 = Enabled) allows the modem to

perform the remote digital loopback test when EIA pin 11 or pin 21 is
raised.

Other Maintenance
The AJ 2443 Leased Line Modem provides several means of self-testing
that can be performed to determine a network or equipment failure.
Attempted field repair of defective units will void the warranty.
Modem Testing
The AJ 2443 Leased Line Modems feature sophisticated diagnostic testing
capabilities to help determine the source of a malfunction in the
communication link. These tests can determine the function of much of
the equipment involved in a data communications link. The results of
these test operations are of significant importance to the CXR Telcom
Customer Support Representative in determining the nature of the failure.

Part 15 Advisement Class A Computing Device
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for Class A computing devices pursuant to
FCC Part 15 (subpart J) which are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential area. If interference
should occur, the user at his own expense will be required to take
whatever measures may be required to correct the interference.
PART 68 FCC NOTICE TO USERS

1. Upon request only, you must provide the following data to your
telephone utility company (Telco):
A. Notice of intention to install or permanently remove an FCC Part

68 registered device or system; and the *FCC Registration
Number.
B. *The ringer equivalence (R.E.N.) number (see index). Note that

if several devices are connected on the same line, the R.E.N.
must not add up to more than 5.0 (A or B). This R.E.N. figure is
important to your Telco.
C. *The (USOC) jack types to be provided by the Telco are RJ11C/W

for the dial-up line; JM8 for the leased line.
* The "*" flagged items above are noted on the equipment's FCC
Compliance label.
2. This device may not be used on Telco-operated coin phone lines.

Party lines and privately owned coin-phone lines are subject to local
State regulatory policies and possible additional State special
requirements.

3. The Telco has the right to make changes to their network which may
affect the operation of your equipment, provided you are given
adequate written notice.
4. In case of operational problems, disconnect your unit by removing

the modular plug form the telco's jack. If your regular phone (or
other device or system) still works properly, your modem has a
problem and must remained disconnected. Locations and phone
numbers for factory service are listed in this user's manual. If upon
the above disconnection your regular service still has a problem,
notify your Telco that they may have a problem. Request prompt
service at no cost to you the user. If a problem is found in premises
wiring not Telco-installed, you are subject to a service charge. If a
fault is in Telco-installed wiring, you may be subject to a service call
charge.
5. Unless otherwise noted in the User's Manual (e.g.: fuses, etc.), the
user may not under any circumstance (in or out of warranty) attempt
any service, adjustment or repairs on this unit. It must be returned
to the factory for all such work.
6. Special FCC rules apply to equipment connected behind a PBX or KTS.

CANADIAN INFORMATION and REQUIREMENTS
Equipment Attachment Limitations

NOTICE: The Canadian Department of Communications (DOC) label
identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment
meets certain telecommunication network protective, operational and
safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment
will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible

to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company.
The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of
connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a
single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified
connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment must be made by the factory. Any repairs

or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment
malfunctions, may give the telecommunication company cause to request
the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground
connection of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water
pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connection themselves,

but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority or
electrician.
Load Number Explanatory Note
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the
percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is
used by the device to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop
may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the
requirements that the total of the Load Numbers of all the devices does
not exceed 100.
